that is a confusing question/statement. It is full time 4x4 yes all your diff lock does is send 25% power to each wheel when its engaged - by locking the diff. where as it sends power to all wheels that have grip usually.
Never drive on tarmac or a majorly grippy surface with your diff lock engaged, you will damage it.

Ah ok, you learn something every day.
And it isn't sending 25% to each wheel either. It is sending 50% to the front and 50% to the rear. How it is then distributed to each wheel is dependant on traction. If a wheel looses traction it will then gain all of the power unless you have traction control.

Or locking diffs on each axle.

It can get more complicated than this with traction control and the like but for most peeps this will be the set up they have on a standard Defender except for the locking rear diff.

should be able to drive around in diff-lock forever without damaging anything if the front prop is removed.
